Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

The arrival of Li Zhirui and Fu Chenguang did not attract much attention from the cultivators, and they quickly and naturally blended in.

"Did you two also hear that this secret realm is about to appear, which is why you rushed here?" a cultivator asked from the side.

"Yes! My brother and I rushed over as soon as we heard the news, afraid of missing this opportunity. Luckily, we arrived in time."

"You two are quite lucky."

Immediately afterward, the cultivator changed the subject, saying, "Before the arrival of the two of you, many fellow cultivators had already formed teams and alliances to explore the secret realm together. I wonder what your thoughts are on this?"

The implication was that they wanted to recruit Li Zhirui and Fu Chenguang, hoping they would join their team.

It's no wonder that the rogue cultivator would have such thoughts, after all, the aura emanating from the two of them was close to that of a perfected human immortal.

Such a level of skill is among the top tier of tens of thousands of independent cultivators. With their addition, our strength will greatly increase, making it more advantageous for them to operate within the secret realm.

Whether searching for spiritual objects or engaging in battles with other cultivators, having superior strength will definitely give you an advantage.

Li Zhirui and Fu Chenguang exchanged a glance, and finally the former spoke up, saying, "My brother and I have just arrived here and do not yet understand many things, so we can only thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist."

"Haha, of course, but if you two have any ideas, I hope you can choose us first. We certainly won't let you two down."

"Thank you for your high regard, fellow Daoist. We will certainly consider it carefully."

The man didn't persist in pestering her; instead, he left with a smile, appearing quite courteous.

In reality, neither Li Zhirui nor Fu Chenguang had ever considered cooperating with cultivators from this realm.

Although having more people would be more advantageous for operations in the secret realm, their identities did not allow them to do so.

After all, their true strength is different from their displayed cultivation level, and they can't keep hiding it forever when they're acting with others.

If it is exposed, it is very likely to arouse suspicion from others, and even if no one suspects it, it will still take a lot of effort to explain.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to act alone, which would be less troublesome and more comfortable for them, as they wouldn't need to hide their strength.

In the following period, many cultivators came to invite Li Zhirui and Fu Chenguang to join them, but they were all politely declined.

Gradually, everyone realized that the two had no intention of teaming up or forming alliances with others, and apart from some whispers and sarcasm, no one bothered them anymore.

"Finally, I can have a moment of peace and tranquility," Li Zhirui couldn't help but sigh.

Fu Chenguang smiled and said, "It's clear that they are very much looking forward to their upcoming trip to the secret realm, which is why they are making all sorts of preparations."

"This is a secret realm that has been developed for many years and has nurtured countless spiritual creatures. Naturally, we are extremely excited, especially given the special circumstances this time."

Under normal circumstances, exploring such a secret realm would be very safe, because the creatures living in it would most likely have been wiped out, so there would be almost no need to worry about fighting.

However, this time, due to Li Zhirui's behind-the-scenes manipulation, the situation became extremely complicated. Tens of thousands of cultivators of varying levels of cultivation entered the secret realm together, and no amount of spiritual resources could be distributed among them.

Not to mention human greed, which will inevitably lead to robbery, ambush, and backstabbing.

Therefore, for their own safety, they naturally want to find ways to enhance their own strength.

As for whether internal conflicts will break out, that's something we'll consider later.

Of course, these situations are impossible for Li Zhirui and Fu Chenguang. As the only two extraterrestrial beings in this world, they can be said to depend on each other for survival.

In a vast world secret realm where the Celestial Immortal realm is the limit, there could not possibly be any spiritual object that would cause the two to turn against each other.

"It would be best to be cautious on the upcoming journey through the secret realm," Li Zhirui habitually reminded him.

Although even Earth Immortal cultivators are no match for them, a large number of them would still bring them some pressure and trouble.

"In addition, try not to kill cultivators of this realm, so as not to get too entangled in karma and cause and effect, which will only add more trouble and difficulty when you have to leave," Fu Chenguang added.

“Okay.” Li Zhirui readily accepted, mainly because he seemed to have more experience in this area.

Although he had been to other worlds, his purpose that time was to conquer and annex them, so he didn't need to worry about anything.

This time, however, their goals were different and less extreme, so their behavior naturally had to be more restrained.

"Now, let's just wait quietly for the secret realm to emerge!"

Silent all night.

However, the entire camp was very lively because the secret realm was about to appear in the world tomorrow. Many cultivators were so excited that they couldn't sleep at all, and there were sounds of conversation and discussion everywhere.

Only a small number of cultivators were able to wait calmly.

Rumbling--

As the sun rose the next day, not long after, the earth trembled slightly, and then a ray of light flew out, eventually forming a portal to a secret realm in mid-air.

The thick white fog obscured everything, making it impossible to see what was inside, but it couldn't dampen the burning gazes and hearts of the crowd.

At this moment, Tu Sen and other sect cultivators stepped forward and said, "The secret realm will be open for three months. The portal will reopen in the last three days. However, if you miss the deadline, you will have to stay in the secret realm and wait for it to reappear in a hundred years."

"After we go in, I ask you fellow Daoists to rely on your own abilities."

No one objected to them going in first. After all, the secret realm had been developed by them for so many years, so it was normal for them to receive some preferential treatment.

As for the second half of the sentence, it actually has a hint of schadenfreude in it.

The number of cultivators who came from all over the country was simply too large, and their backgrounds were quite diverse. Some might be cultivators from small sects or families, while others might be disciples from other major powers.

However, the majority are still independent cultivators.

In such a complex situation, it's impossible to elect someone who can be recognized by all cultivators; everyone can only act independently and be their own master.

The portal to the secret realm is open for a limited time. In order to seize the opportunity to enter the secret realm, these cultivators will definitely use all their abilities, and it is not impossible that they will fight each other.

Unlike in the past, the Three Profound Sect and other forces no longer sent only a few hundred disciples into the secret realm; this time, they arranged for thousands of people to enter.

They did this to compete with the rogue cultivators for more spiritual items. After all, these were spiritual items that they had painstakingly cultivated, and it was hard for them to accept that they would fall into the hands of others.

Therefore, it took half a quarter of an hour just for this group of cultivators to enter the secret realm.

The remaining tens of thousands of cultivators, fearing that the secret realm's portal would close and they would be unable to enter, each used their unique abilities to try and get inside as soon as possible.

So they immediately unleashed their fastest speed, wanting to get ahead of everyone else.

But among this group of cultivators, the fastest were the Earth Immortals.

In fact, Li Zhirui and Fu Chenguang were faster than everyone else, but in order not to attract attention, they chose to be a step slower than the immortals.

Logically speaking, with their Profound Immortal Realm cultivation, it would be impossible for them to enter this Earth Immortal Realm, because they have exceeded the upper limit of the realm and the laws of the realm would reject them.

However, due to their identities, the two were suppressed by the Heavenly Dao of this realm. Although their cultivation level remained unchanged, it dropped to the late stage of Human Immortal. Under these circumstances, they were not considered to have exceeded the upper limit of the secret realm, and thus successfully entered the secret realm.

The cultivators who followed them began attacking each other in order to compete for the chance to enter the secret realm.

Many cultivators even took action with the idea of ​​preventing others from taking action since they themselves had no chance.

After a chaotic battle, many cultivators successfully entered the secret realm.

However, many cultivators remained outside, and many others lost their lives!

Those cultivators who failed to enter were naturally unwilling, regretful, and even somewhat angry. However, when they saw the mangled corpses not far away, they suddenly felt a sense of comfort, knowing that at least they were still alive.

……

Talking two ends.

On the other side, Li Zhirui and Fu Chenguang, who had entered the secret realm, quickly adapted to the discomfort brought about by spatial travel.

Looking around, the two were surrounded by flat, cultivated spiritual fields, planted with a large number of spiritual objects, ranging from immortal-level to mortal-level spiritual objects, with a very wide range.

Perhaps because no one took good care of it, many weeds grew in the spirit field, and the spiritual light was not very abundant.

However, apart from them, there were no other cultivators nearby!

"It seems we two are indeed quite lucky." Li Zhirui was very satisfied with this.

Fu Chenguang smiled and asked, "Are we going to harvest all these spiritual items?"

"It's up to you to decide."

However, he did not intend to take all these spiritual items with him. He would just collect some mortal-level spiritual items to enrich his collection, but he could collect more lone immortal and human immortal-level spiritual items, which might come in handy.

Fu Chenguang really went to great lengths to take all the spiritual items away.

Li Zhirui had no objection to this.

"Next, shall we explore the eastward side?"

"it is good."

They didn't get their hands on a map, or rather, apart from disciples of forces like the Three Profound Sect, other cultivators didn't have maps to refer to and could only rely on luck to search around the secret realm.

As a result, the two had not flown far when a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy came from their right front, indicating that cultivators were engaged in a fierce battle.

"Should we go take a look? I think it might be a rather precious spiritual object, and maybe we can reap the benefits." Fu Chenguang was somewhat tempted.

After all, they had only been in the secret realm for less than an hour, and with spiritual objects everywhere, people had already started fighting.

There are only two possibilities: either they were enemies beforehand and then started fighting each other, or they discovered a precious spiritual object and were fighting over its ownership.

"Since I have nothing else to do, I might as well go take a look."

After saying that, the two changed direction.

Soon, the two saw the battlefield not far away. The two sides were fighting fiercely and had no extra energy to pay attention to the changes in their surroundings.

After a while, the battle was nearing its end. One side, after paying a heavy price, successfully defeated its opponent, gave up its right to compete for the spiritual object, and fled in a sorry state.

Just as he was about to step forward to pick the spiritual item, Li Zhirui and Fu Chenguang made their move.

"Fellow Daoist, wait a minute!"

When the man saw the two appear together, his face immediately turned extremely ugly, and he asked in a gloomy tone, "Do you two want to compete with me for this spiritual treasure?"

Although he had just gone through a fierce battle and his mana was mostly depleted, were these two mere immortal cultivators underestimating him too much to try and take the spiritual item from him?

“If possible, I still hope we don’t fight. It would be better if you took the initiative to back down, so as not to damage our harmony,” Li Zhirui said matter-of-factly, without the slightest embarrassment on his face.

"Ah!"

The earth immortal sneered and hissed, "How dare you speak such words to me!"

"act recklessly!"

Before the words were finished, a jet-black spiritual light, as fast as lightning, rushed towards the two of them.

However, the scene he had imagined, where the two of them were struggling to hold their own, did not occur. Instead, one of them made a move and easily blocked the attack.

"You've been hiding your strength?!"

Otherwise, this situation would be impossible to explain.

"Sir, would you be willing to give up that spiritual plant?" Li Zhirui asked without answering.

The earth immortal stood there, his expression shifting constantly. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! You two are quite something! This spiritual treasure is yours."

He had considered destroying the spiritual plant, but seeing the two people blocking his way, he chose to do nothing.

Although it's frustrating, it's better than getting injured or even losing your life!

"However, there is only one Heavenly Spirit Wisdom Fruit. I wonder how you two plan to divide it?"

Having said that, he transformed into a streak of light and decisively left the place.

The Heavenly Spirit Wisdom Fruit is a top-grade spiritual object of the Earth Immortal level. It allows one's divine consciousness to merge with heaven and earth, and also has the effects of increasing wisdom and enlightening one's mind and nature. It is of great help in breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal level.

It is an extremely rare and highly sought-after spiritual item!
His last words before leaving were an attempt to sow discord between the two.

"This spiritual plant is yours, fellow Daoist. You can give it to me next time you encounter a terrestrial immortal-level spiritual plant." Fu Chenguang chose to voluntarily give it up.

Li Zhirui shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite. I only need the mature spiritual seed. You can keep the spiritual item."

This thing is like ginseng; its seeds are not inside the spirit body, but grow independently.

"Okay, I'll consider myself to have gotten the better deal this time."

He did not continue to refuse. After Li Zhirui took the spirit seed, he took out the jade box and sealed the spirit object away.

He then prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment! There is another spiritual creature here."

But Li Zhirui's words made him abruptly stop in his tracks. (End of Chapter)
